Side projects

This is a list of possible side projects that would add functionalities to our main projects, MacGyver, whole-body manipulation and etc.

• Analysis of f/t data with compliant sensors: How does the f/t readings change when you have compliant hands such as the Robotiq hands? S.R.H. & C.E.
• Handling self-shadows in manipulation: If a robot is trying to play with blocks in a dimly lighted room (uhm...), the shadows it casts on the table would affect its perception. For a single light source, the problem could be somewhat easily handled with forward kinematics and projections. It might be a bit more challenging/interesting/realistic to consider multiple light sources as well. C.E.
